Wooden caveman – Stone Age man silhouette for crafting

The children's birthday party has a Stone Age theme. The school project still needs figures for the diorama. And you're looking for something children can decorate themselves. This wooden caveman is made for exactly that. It's a laser-cut Stone Age man silhouette in plywood. You can paint it, stick things on it or simply stand it up as it is. A craft idea turns into a little scene that everyone enjoys.

What changes for you

• You can start crafting straight away. The wood is untreated and can be painted, decorated, varnished or oiled.
• Your figure has character from the start. The face and outlines are finely scored into the surface.
• You'll find the right size for your project: from 5 cm to 50 cm tall, in 1 cm steps.
• Your crafting afternoon with children stays relaxed. The laser-cut edges are smooth, so no sanding is needed.
• Kitting out larger groups is easy too. Order single pieces or sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden caveman makes a difference day to day

You simply look at a ready-made plastic figure. A wooden figure you've decorated yourself tells a story. The caveman gives you a basic shape that invites children and adults to carry on. Paint it, glue on fur, add a club. What you end up with isn't just any decoration. It's your own Stone Age figure for the project wall, the shop window or the birthday table.

Material & finish

The caveman is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. This gives it the typical brown edge, which suits the prehistoric look of the silhouette. The top shows the scored outline with the face and details. The back is left natural. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. Paints, glues and oils adhere particularly well to it. Every figure is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia, and carefully finished. Wood is a natural material. Brightness, grain and small knots always vary a little. That makes each piece unique.

Facts about cavemen

Cave paintings like those in the Lascaux cave in France are among humanity's oldest known works of art. So people were already painting and creating in the Stone Age. This figure picks up on that. When you paint the caveman, you're doing what our ancestors began thousands of years ago. It's a nice thought for school projects and Stone Age theme days.

Care & durability

There isn't much to do. Stored dry, the caveman keeps its shape and light wood look for a long time. The plywood is untreated, so avoid constant moisture. If you want to use the figure outdoors, protect it first with paint, varnish or oil.
